We have measured proton and deuteron virtual photon-nucleon asymmetries A2p and A2d and structure functions g2p and g2d over the range 0.03<x<0.8 and 1.3<Q2<10 (GeV/c)2 by inelastically scattering polarized electrons off polarized ammonia…
We explain spin structure for a spin-one hadron, in which there are new structure functions, in addition to the ones ($F_1$, $F_2$, $g_1$, $g_2$) which exist for the spin-1/2 nucleon, associated with its tensor structure. The new structure…
It is assumed that U atoms in $UGe_2$ have a number of $f$ electrons appropriate to give them each a spin $s=1$ as well as one extra itinerant electron which may equally well be on one or other U atom. The dynamical degrees of freedom are…

The spin of a composite particle, like a nucleus or a hadron, is generated by the composition of angular moments (consisting of spins and orbital angular moments) of the constituents. The composition of two angular moments is done by the…
We report on new results of the spin dependent structure functions $g_1$ and $h_1$ of the nucleon. An attempt is made to convert the moments, which is what one computes on the lattice, to quark distribution functions.
